Albertsons

this store location is ideal right next to the 101 freeway, the grocery and vegetable section has a good selection. The price is a little pricey, but they do have higher quality. Linda the pharmacist is very helpful and knowledgeable. If you don’t like the rush or crowded conditions, I’ve found the ideal time to go there is betwee 7:30pm and 8:30pm. If you are picking up fresh sushi, go there before Noon, so it’s fresh.
The liquor and wine section seems to keep expanding with good selection, and the prices are competitive. All in all, a five star outfit.

This is an older Albertson’s location, but it was close to our hotel and we stopped here for some drinks.
Open till 12 and with that pretty much the only thing open in the area, service was nice and we were the only people in the store.
Huge store, well stocked, clean and tons of easy parking, prices are fair when you look for sales and specials.

I do my grocery shopping here every Saturday. Always stocked, always clean, nice staff. Makes for a very pleasant shopping trip :)

Surprised by all of the reviews complaining about the service. I shop here regularly and it is always well staffed — and the staff is always extremely helpful and friendly. I have never had any trouble finding assistance here. They also have a large assortment of otc drugs, greeting cards, wine/​beer/​liquor, stationery, small gifts, beach supplies, a full service Chase bank etc. so it’s our go-​to neighborhood «general store». Their regular prices are a lot cheaper than Gelson’s, on par with Ralphs and slightly higher than Trader Joe’s. However their sales are amazing (today Health Choice Meals were $ 1.69 each & soda was 3 12-​packs for $ 10) ! So if you shop the sales you will do better than Ralphs or Vons. My only quibble is the long lines after work (avoid between 5 & 6). (NOTE: the pharmacy which is independently owned by someone else is the absolute worst.)

Ein sehr schöner, ordentlicher und sauberer Supermarkt in Agoura Hills. Teils sehr gute Angebote, ansonsten sind die Preise durchschnittlich. Jeder Mitarbeiter, dem wir begegneten war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. An den Kassen gibt es in der Regel keine lange Wartezeit, es wird genügend Personal an den Kassen eingesetzt.

Big market, pretty standard stuff… great because it’s right near the Good Nite Inn (where I stay when I visit) and I can grab a bunch of snacks/​goodies, and water/​drinks to bring back to the hotel room. Shared parking lot with other businesses.
Have tasty looking prepared foods. The fried chicken in particular is awfully tempting.
A seating/​café area which is great for having a coffee and reading a magazine for free… granted I had enough time to do so.
What irked me on my last trip there was how rude some guy was waiting behind us on the self checkout line. Plain obnoxious. He was clearly in a hurry, but he couldn’t seem to wait his turn calmly. He was loudly and nastily telling people to hurry, move faster. My sister just had bananas and water and she didn’t even have a chance to scan it before he was yelling at her too.
Are they used to that over here or something? Are the customers extremely wealthy and rude, unable to wait on line like a normal human being. It seems no one else on line was disturbed by this behavior, and the attendant at self-​checkout just looked on. Maybe there was nothing they could do, but a simple «calm down, sir» would have been appreciated. Really knocked down the shopping experience. If we have 35 items at the self checkout and were confusedly scanning items (it happens, trust me, it pisses me off too!), then I would understand the antsy actions/​comments. But we we had SO LITTLE!
Anyway, technically that’s not the store’s fault, but still turned me off. UGH. Come here because it’s close and convenient, but if someone were rude like that again, I’d say something. Or scan my items in slow motion.

I mostly come here for snacks and the occasional deli item. I’ve never had a bad experience here. I’m in and out in a flash because there’s never a line. The employees are friendly and always have nice things to say to my sister and I because we come in regularly. This Albertsons has pretty good deals too, their ‘more for less’ deals!

Love this Albertsons! Although I live closer to former Albertsons now Haggen in WLV, i much prefer here. Store is clean and layour nice with wide aisles and great selection. Only reason 4 star is not enough cashiers up front

I normally enjoy shopping at Albertsons, but Vilma in the Seafood Department was so incredibly rude today I will never go back! I was the only person at the seafood counter so it’s not like I was holding up the line. When I asked for a different piece of fish than the one she selected for me, she angrily shouted at me, «ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!» I think she was going to walk away, but thought better of it. I’ll be shopping at Trader Joes and Ralphs in the future.

Unfriendly. I have come here for more than 10 years, with most of the cashiers there is absolutely no sign of recognition. Produce is overpriced and often not fresh. Starbucks in the store idem ditto. They really don’t seem to care.

This was the nicest Albertsons I’ve ever been in. The place looked super clean and the food was fresh and well cared for. Got a sandwich and picked up some flowers on the way back to Santa Barbara. Staff seemed nice and it wasn’t super busy.

Super racist. Carded my 37 year old uncle and made us wait in line for 10 minutes to «check it out». Had no problems with other customers, only the Mexicans.

I live 5 minutes from this Albertson’s and once again I came home tonight telling myself «I will NEVER shop there again!» I feel a little better seeing that I’m not the only one who has come to this conclusion… the staff at this store are ridiculously rude and surly.
They rarely have more than one check stand open (there’s always a long line and I end up spending another 15 minutes in the store just getting through checkout), they do have a bay of self-​checkout but if you’re buying alcohol you can’t use it, which in turn ends up creating a log jam at the one check stand. I’ve complained about this on a number of occasions (waiting 15 mins to buy a couple bottles of wine is crazy!) and I’m always told that it is state law that alcohol can’t be sold at self-​checkout yet Ralph’s, Von’s and Pavillion’s allow you to. It’s hard for me to believe that those chains are breaking the law!
Forget finding a manager, I asked to speak to one and a young checker (about 18 years old) nervously told me she had been left in charge. Well that explains a lot!
I will drive an extra 5 mins to the Commons or Agoura to shop at Ralph’s or really ANY other grocery chain to avoid the nasty attitudes from the staff in the future!

If myself and this Albertsons were dating then today we would be breaking up.
Not only is every poor review correct about the customer service and general mood and helpfulness of the employees, but I’ve had it with the deli. I’m not one to complain often, I’m from the Valley and we generally take what we can get. But the deli staff serve food and make sandwiches like they are afraid of them. I have to repeat at least twice every single ingredient i want, one employee didn’t even know what veggies they offered (I pointed them all out for him) and while i never considered sandwich making to be an art form before, maybe now i realize i was wrong.
How hard is it to spread out mustard on a bun and toss some cheese on top? they glob all the ingredients on in the same corner then its stacked so high its falling apart. Today i watched as my deli friend put just about everything on one side of the sandwich, saw how high it was, looked at me nervously, and as quickly as he could wrapped it so it wouldn’t fall over. i got it back to my desk and it deflated. i had to take everything off, put it all back on again and finish cutting it in half which he chose not to do when the knife wouldn’t slip right through.
Sounds like a REALLY stupid complaint, even to me. But come on. its a sandwich. Either own it or go mop the floors.

This market is literally one minute away from me, yet I am no longer going to shop there. This is the Albertson’s where many of the commercials are filmed and is a big, beautiful store. That is about where it ends for me.
First I gave up on using the pharmacy as other reviewers have stated because of the wait and the rudeness of the employees. When you are sick, the last thing you want to do is wait in line for twenty minutes or more, then be told time after time that your prescription is not ready.
The sundries section is seldom restocked and it is often difficult to find common items such as cotton squares for weeks at a time.
Today I tried to buy a case of Perrier. Most markets will discount 10% on a case. Albertson’s does not and furthermore did not even have cases available. Produce is fair. Meat is fair. Floral department is good. I really do like the Deli. They make a delicious Loaded Potato Salad and great sandwiches.
While I do appreciate the Starbucks and Chase Bank inside, I feel like the prices have increased and the customer service has decreased. There is seldom anyone around to help you.

Gotta love Calabasas — where a brand new Lamborghini can be sitting in the same parking lot as my beat up Mazda3.
This Albertsons does fall into the ‘no plastic bag law’ of Calabasas, so don’t forget your shopping bags. I always forget my shopping bags, so I carry all of the stuff out with my hands.
This location is OK. Not optimal. I’m more of a Ralph’s fan but I am lazy and want to stay near by. If you live off Las Virgenes or Liberty Canyon, you end up here.
I generally use self check out which works fine.
Be warned — I got blood sugar test sticks from the pharmacy and they were EXPIRED. I had already thrown away my receipt, so lost $ 40 there :(

I hate Albertson’s. Especially this one. I live right down the street and will drive the 10 extra minutes just to go to Trader Joe’s. I only go to this Albertson’s when I absolutely have to.
First of all, they have NO staff — it’s impossible to find someone when you need help, even at the meat counters. They rarely have any registers open. It’s all self-​check out, which is a huge pain when you are buying fresh fruits/​veggies and have to manually search through massive lists on the check out screen.
The quality of the food is poor and expensive. I asked for Organic beef at the meat counter and they literally looked at me like I had 3 eyes. They don’t sell anything organic. The Bakery is extremely limited, and pretty much every baked good is packed with «high fructose corn syrup».
I’ve even used the pharmacy, where the wait for a prescription was unnecessarily long, every time.
Avoid this place. It’s just… really bad.

With a little more perspective, after visiting many local supermarkets many times, I am updating my review of this Calabasas store.
Yeah, there aren’t enough staff members to help with customer service. If you can get by that fact this store’s produce section is clearly superior to any other big box supermarket within 5 miles. Selection is good and freshness is outstanding. The meat section is very good, too, for a non– high end grocer.
No need to go store-​to-​store to find high quality produce, as this Albertson’s gets produce right, and remember to bring your own shopping bags, as this is bag-​free Calabasas.
If only Albertson’s could commit to proper staffing this store could be almost perfect.

The produce is unbelievable. They have all the fresh fruits and vegetables all year round. It’s a one stop place, they have everything. This grocery store is huge and filled with lots and lots of goodies. Parking is a dream.
The bakery section unfortunately doesn’t carry brioche which is kind of a bummer. Other than that they pretty much have everything I’m looking for whenever I come here.
The one downside is that things can be kind of pricey here… they have Albertsons cards that can get you discounts on certain items if you forgot yours at home.

I love no plastic laws. No need to listen to «Paper or Plastic?».
I love this grocery store. I wish it came lock stock and barrel to Yaletown. Cold beer, cheap wine. Cool Calabasas clientele, friendly clerks and cheap Starbucks energy drinks.
I came here everyday getting fresh fruits and good eats. They always punched in the discount code for me, so I got the Albertson’s discount price. I always felt like a local dude.
I don’t believe the hype when they call Calabasas locals Calabassholes…
It’s not true at all. They’re super nice.

BRING YOUR OWN BAGS! — This is Calabasas. We have the whole «no plastic bags» rule. If you don’t…and need a bag… each paper bag will cost you 10 cents! Honestly, I think all places should do this (and I never bring my own bags)… but yeah, I agree with this rule. (although, how about produce… hmm… I didn’t notice)
Honestly… this store is pretty cool.
I have this preconceived notion that «Albertson’s» is a crappy store… because the one in West Hills… pretty much is. It’s old… and just not that great… but since I found that Ben and Jerry’s Greek Frozen Yogurt there before anywhere else… I’ve decided to give them a second chance.
This store is huge! and nice! I guess I would expect nothing less of Calabasas. It’s modern… huge… well lit and well stocked.
Also, it seems like Albertson’s is starting to carry more «unusual» items… which is a plus. I’m always on the look out for different items to try as snacks. They have a wide array of spreads, oils, sauces and dips… definitely different than what I can find at Ralph’s/Vons… and cheaper than Whole Foods.
They have a variety of different sodas too… which I’ve noticed a lot of stores now doing… carrying the different glass bottled sodas which is awesome… although, it’s kind of sad for Rocketfizz… but I’m glad to have more options readily available.
They used to be the only place that would carry this milk… Sunmilk. Ah… I loved that stuff. It was a lowfat milk with a bit of sunflower oil which would give the milk this amazing flavor. But that product has long been off the market. Sad. :(
The flower section is large and: gasp: the flowers look the best of any of the local supermarkets. They’re very fresh, fragrant and vibrant. Awesome. :)
There is also a Chase bank inside this store… and I’m a fan of the supermarket banks… so that’s cool.
There is also a Starbucks inside… although there is one outside too in the same shopping center… but that’s LA for ya!
